President Donald Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package is back in the House after being passed in the Senate. But while Congress is on track to give the president his first DOGE cuts, it’s hardly a great victory.

A group of 15 fiscal conservatives in the House sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Tuesday warning that “weakening” the cuts would “undermine both his leadership and the discipline our budget urgently demands.” Instead, the group urged the Senate to pass the rescissions package as-is.

Republican Senators have the votes to pass a bill that will cut $9 billion in funds already appropriated by Congress. The vote is expected to happen today.

House Republican leaders are preparing for a late night in the chamber as they try to jam through President Donald Trump’s $9 billion package of cuts to federal funding — after a day of intense talks with GOP holdouts demanding a vote on a Jeffrey Epstein-related measure.

NPR and PBS outlets, including several in Southern California, will have to make tough decisions as the U.S. Senate votes to claw back money previously allocated for their operations.

The House is looking at President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency’s spending cuts after Senate Republicans agreed to cancel $9 billion in funding to foreign aid and public broadcasting.

The package, which narrowly passed the House in May, would cull back funding from Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio.
